John 10:24. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
God was manifest in the flesh doing many wonders and miracles that no man can do. Consider a little earlier in John 9:32, Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. Yet in the face of the miracles...they believed not. Jesus' response to this was going back to the man who was born blind and asking, Dost thou belive on the Son of God?...And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. And Jesus said, For judgement I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not; the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
Before Jesus brought Lazarus forth, he said to Martha, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Is it not peculiar that Jesus did all his awesome miracles in the sight and knowledge of all people, yet some continued to ask, How long dost thou make us to doubt? And others saw the same works in belief and worshipped Jesus, because through their belief, they saw the glory of God.
Though men will always say that Christ hasn't given them enough reason to believe...If he were true then this or that. They are blind because they think they see without the Light. But in reality, Christ gave us more than enough evidence that he is the master of heaven and earth. He is the good shepherd and knows his sheep; we hear his voice, know it, and can forget all fear.
